Morning all...
cold and cloudy again...is this November?

Wiz, good luck...I think working with you would be a bit of sunshine in the office! Let us know what you hear...

Jenn, it's a very difficult thing to do...I won't lie...the chemicals in cigarette smoke plug into the same cell receptors as the opiates...that's why it's so hard to quit. You might try using aversion visuals...I saw lung slices of a normal lung and one with emphysema...looked like concrete. Also the aids to help make it a bit easier sound like a blessing...didn't have that 18 yrs. ago for me...I promised my DH I wouldn't ever touch it again, and I haven't. It's a dirty, stinking habit. My drug of choice now is chocolate... Take one day at a time. Try to get busy when the crave hits. Distraction is the key, until your body is no longer addicted. Good luck!

Sandy, we cut our pond plants down and submerged them...the ones we did this with last year lived...my fish are still swimming and eating, so I'm not turning off the filter yet...

I have slept almost all morning...I don't understand why, just doing what the body wants...also have to do a 24 hr. urine input/output journal for seeing a urogynecologist. Ugh!

Hope everyone has a good Monday!!

Good luck, Fin! You'll feel better (and smell better! ) for it.

It's raining cats and dogs here today. Just like it did a few weeks ago when we had all that flooding. Our county is under a flood warning until 5:30 PM today. I sure do hope it quits soon. I know the people who were flooded out still haven't finished their cleanup from the first flood.....now this.......such strange weather for October, too.

I'm not venturing out in this mess today. Hope the weather is better for everyone else. Happy Monday!

Hi everyone! it is rather cold here today too! I am ready for Indian summer. It seems like we went right from summer to November weather. I just got home from school about an hour ago.And I am feeling tuckered. I was awake most of the night, and I took baclofen, lyrica, and ambien last night I need to finish grading about 25 exams tonight . Wish me luck.

Big to all! I read the past couple of days post and ya'll been busy!

I'm struggling with cog fog big time. I can't even construct clear thoughts to respond to each of you. SO I'll throw in some prayers and hugs for all.

I'm hoping this passes soon. It is frustrating not being able to talk or even help my kid with homework. We were trying to tackle algebra and I think I confused him more!

Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Good morning everyone...cold, but at least the sun is shining...

Pam, even when my brain was working, my kids learned not to come to me for math homework, esp after one of the kids got a D on an assignment in 4th grade! Hope the fog lifts soon...

Kelly, I was surprised you didn't say it was raining only cats, since you're partial to them. Seriously, hope the faucet is turned off in your neck of the woods soon...

Slept okay...but up early. Glad to be finished with collecting for the uro visit...I hate that!! I feel a bit more energetic, but I'm kind of scared to do too much, in case the fatigue overtakes me again. I slept most of last evening, too. I thought at first it was the increased amount of zanaflex, but I don't always feel this way, just once in a while. But it's usually the whole day (or three). Probably a fatigue thing going on...

Well, hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!

good tuesday morning folks.

fin...good luck , you CAN do it. I did, 20 years ago.

Pam...cog fog, yuck.

sandy, sarah, barb, holly,becky and all you have a great week!

me;....insanely busy weekend. It sucked to live in a New England sports
world this weekend...there is always next year.

My ds20 came home with the new girl this weekend. We liked her , she
was sweet. Ive been dealing with this horrible back pain and am ready
to be pain free. I have kept up with the excercises that the PT gave
me but the pain is actually worse.

Is it true is gets better before it gets worse?

I am going to my dad's this a.m. for an adjustment and I hope it helps.

I am so tired of dealing with all of my pain! Its making me very down.

Anywho....hugs to everyone!

feeling a tad better ... lots to do today .. I have a "LIST"

remember: LAUGH today ... that's the best medicine!!

and to everyone -->>>

have a GREAT day ... make it fun!! (even with a nap or two works!)
